Sailor V Chop
CharacterSailor V Chop is a blunt, physical strike from Minako Aino's early crime-fighting days as Sailor V. She brings her hand down in a sharp descending motion, a purely muscular move with no magic behind it, wielded before she ever became Sailor Venus.
Overview
This technique comes from Codename: Sailor V, the series that predates Minako Aino's turn as Sailor Venus. It is a straightforward hand strike with no supernatural element, and it later receives an enhanced form known as V-chan-style Kneading Sailor V Chop.
Mechanics
The move is simply a forceful chop delivered along a downward path. Its debut sees Sailor V smash apart the arcade cabinet running the game Fighting Girl Lurga, the machine the Dark Agency had been using to drain energy from unsuspecting players. Raw physical force alone carries the blow.
